Average age of a paintballer?

[Marcus Geezer]

Not meaning to sound a bit paranoid, but was wondering how old people are on here. I've swapped a few pm's with other newbies on here, and met a guy when purchasing equipment, and everyone seems to be under the age of 25 and mainly student-like.

I'm 37, proud of it, run rings round much younger guys at football due to being bloody fit, and looking forward to attending my first walk on soon, but kind of get the feeling I'm gonna be surrounded by loads of younger type people!

To get an idea of the average age of paintballers, could people please post their age and give me re-assurance I'm not the oldest person here?

No mate, there are some pretty erm, 'mature' guys around......

I am 25 if it makes you feel any better?

By the sounds of it you have nothing to worry about though

12 to 60????

Thanks guys. Feeling less paranoid, but 25 and 16 and 15 and 14... and blimey... 60? Have to see it to beleive it. I play football with guys aged 14 to 57, and I'm one of the fittest ones on the pitch, so no worries there. The 57 year old however is very fit but very much the dirtiest player I've ever played with.

Proof of the pudding so to speak... so.... can any paintballer place a post who is older than 30?

older than 40?

older than 50?
